Pathecolor print with Max Linder. UK-title: "Romeo turns brigand", released Dec. 4, 1909. US-release: May 23, 1910
"[Max Linder] as an ardent suitor for a young lady's hand, the father being opposed to his pretensions. To convince him, the lover arranges with two of his friends to masquerade as bandits. They capture the father and leave him tied in a way that permits of his gaining his freedom in a short time. Then they pretend to kidnap the girl, and send word that they are holding her for ransom. Max now presents himself before the father and offers to rescue her, accomplishing the feat with a droll show of bravery and prowess that wins the old gentleman's gratitude and the hand of his daughter." (The New York Dramatic Mirror, June 4, 1910)
